No; colleges will not average your SAT score if you take it more than three times - it's just a myth.

High School Grades as well as the rigor of your courseload is the most important factor in college admissions.

The College Board would never use an old SAT within a short amount of period - it is likely that they used just a few portions.

Nope. The Princeton Review Book does not provided any tricks or tips that couldn't be found online for free. There are many noticeable errors that glare out in the book, this only adds to my hatred of test-prep companies' books.

Most, if not all, will not require transfer students to submit SAT scores - especially if you have a certain number of credits that they specify. Check each individual college's website to see if they require it or not. It's better to be on the safe side, then not.

I doubt it. They likely put you in the summer session because they felt that you will likely benefit if you take a few classes before everyone else starts. (I didn't get into the summer session (just the regular fall session) so I'm not totally sure; are you definitely going to Penn State?) If I get into McGill, Boston University, Renssalaer or Syracuse, I will definitely not attend Penn State.

If you plan on going into a math-intensive field, it would be best to take it (especially if you are planned on taking Math IC).

Congratulations on your acceptances! Which Penn State campuses are you applying to? (I already got into Penn State - University Park.)

Well, if you happen to figure out what you want to write, I'll gladly critique your essay. Complicated words, if used incorrectly, can deter your essay, rather than enhance it.

Thanks for the advice, I was planning on applying there. What makes University of Toronto such a bad university -- the high undergraduate application fee (close to $200 US) left a bad taste in my mouth --so I haven't bothered to apply (yet).

While Math I covers easier and less advanced topics than Math II, the curve is horrendous: one wrong and your score is already below 800. Math, on the other hand, has a much nicer curve (you can get 5-6 wrong and still get an 800) -- that's why an 800 on Math IIc is only 88th percentile.

Since the SAT only tests 10-15 grammar rules, it is definitely the most "coachable" section of all.

knok, have your son check out this post as it has two real SATII math tests (one Ic and one IIc) -- your son could take each one and see which one he thinks he will do better on. Both tests include a scoring key and a curve chart that will help pinpoint areas of weakness, and estimate where he stands.
